This is a 1916 Fred A. Routledge pictorial bird's eye view of the Columbia River Valley. Overlooking the area from the west, the map depicts the region from Mt. St. Helens and Centerville, Washington to Wapinitia, Oregon and Brighton, Oregon and from Shaniko, Oregon to the Pacific Ocean. Created to promote the Columbia River Scenic Route operated by the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle Railway Company, the railway's routes are highlighted by solid red lines following the course of the Columbia River. Other trunk lines run west from Portland to serve smaller communities, with another heading south from Celilo Falls. Cities and towns across the region are identified, including Portland, The Dalles, and Longview. Important historical events are marked by red overprinting, with particular interest paid to the progress of Lewis and Clark's expedition in the region in 1805 - 1806. Locations of Hudson Bay Company outposts, military forts, and John Jacob Astor's settlement of Astoria are also included. A legend along the bottom border explains the different abbreviations used in these references and a small text gives historical context to Captain Robert Gray of Boston, Lieutenant W.R. Broughton, and John Jacob Astor. (more details)
